But they are existent forms of God.
They are portions of the absolute, a form of the Eternal, even as man is a form of the same.

Absolute being, again, is described as anthropomorphic.

'This is that' under a certain form.

Incessantly made is the attempt to explain the identity of the absolute with phenomena.
The power _brahma_, which is originally applied to prayer, is now taken as absolute being, and this, again, must be equated with the personal spirit (ego, self, _[=a]tm[=a]_).

One finds himself back in the age of Vedic speculation when he reads of prayer (or penance) and power as one.
